Book Description:

Fifteen-year-old Laura lives apart from her family for the first time, teaching school in a claim shanty twelve miles from home. She is very homesick, but keeps at it so that she can help pay for her sister Mary's tuition at the college for the blind. During school vacations Laura has fun with her singing lessons, going on sleigh rides, and best of all, helping Almanzo Wilder drive his new buggy. Friendship soon turns to love for Laura and Almanzo in the romantic conclusion of this Little House book.

I read the entire series many times as a kid. I loved these books & so did my daughter. I recommend this series for all kids who need a break from the sci-fi/fantasy/cartoon books that are out there now.

Laura Ingalls, not yet sixteen, is now teaching school in a drafty shanty twelve miles from home. It's a terrifying job. most of the students are taller than she is, and she has to board all week with a hateful, crazy lady. Laura is miserable, but the money is needed to keep her blind sister, Mary, in school. And every Friday- in good or bad weather-Almanzo Wilder arrives in his sleigh, from across the desolate icy slough, to take her home to her family for the weekend. Could it be love?

This is part of Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" series of children's books (which a lot of adults love to read, as well!). This takes you into a later part of her and Almanzo'l life than the books before it. Laura is an adult in this one. Great reading, it gives you an understanding of what life was like many years ago!
